Pumpkin Cottage and scissor frogs :)

Hi every one :) first of all many thanks for the good wishes ... I am experiencing "women's problems" and I have now got some help etc after the tests... until I go to the hospital for some more tests done *sigh ....

but enough of that ...lol .... welcome to all my new followers *waving paw at you all ... I've snuck up to over 300 now ... and am soo pleased to see you all and no I've not bribed to0000000 many with cups of tea and goodies honest ...lol

I finally managed to sit down after tea to start today's offering of Pumpkin Cottage CCN using all the recommended threads but stitching on an unknown piece of 28 count evenweave that is actually a lovely peachy shade :)

I was sooo enjoying it I didn't really want to put it down to take a photo and update and catch up with you all ... it is lovely to see what other peeps are stitching on and all their goodies and links and enabling etc etc etc .... and boy do they seem to do that to me lately when funds are low *sigh heheheheh

It seemed I wasn't the only one to be visited by those pesky frogs the other day they seem to have done the rounds all on that same day ..... hopefully they have hopped it to somewhere else away from any stitchers :)

soooo while pottering around town today I popped into a few charity shops and picked up some books four for a £1.00 :) and also a lovely scissor frog that just needs a wee dip in soapy water to be pristine :) well the top part does ..... for the princely sum of £2.49 or $3.84 converted :)

well I shall let you see the photos for today ... I hate having to take them so late on as I can never get the colours right ... hopefully tomorrow will take them again for you to see the proper colours :)

Pumpkin Cottage CCN and a flat out frog ..lol

I don't know whether I should really let you in on this but...... there may be a new furbaby coming to the mouse house ... not sure what type but hopefully it will be a springer of some sort .... the girls are buying it and training it etc etc etc and we are going possibly tomorrow, to go an see if, where we got my Bracken from have got any pups ready .... soooo will let you all know soon ;)off to go and catch up with every one else's blog's and say hello :)take care till tomorrow and happy stitching :)love mouse xxxxx

Sounds like you're just loving your latest project, Mouse! It looks so pretty on that fabric. ANd such a pretty new scissor frog, too. Do hope all those hospital tests go smoothly. And that the new family member fits right in--what fun!

Another day, another new crazy - what a treat! This one looks lovely.Glad you have some relief after seeing the doc - thanks for letting us know. Will keep you in my prayers and you be sure to rest as you need it Miss Mouse.Am envious of that scissor frog - lucky lucky you :)Liz x

What a cute start! Sounds like you are really enjoying it. Love that new frog! Did you get the base with it as well - so pretty! Wishing you all the best with your tests and good luck with the new fur baby!

Oh Mouse you are going to LOVE Pumpkin Cottage, I think it was one of my fav crazies from last year. An absolute dream to stitch :@ I want to know where my cup of tea is? And where did you get your scissor frog, can't find one for love nor money. Can't wait to see the new furbaby, hope it's a Springer, they are so so cute.LiBBiE in Oz

Hopefully you'll be fine again soon. Thinking of you during your tests. Having a Laparoscopy this month myself I know a bit you you must feel.Love your new start. And the scissor frog is adorable.Can't wait to hear more about the pup

Mouse! Great start on CCN's Pumpkin Cottage, which I think is my favorite design of Nikki's. The flat out frog is even cute, LOL!

The flower frog is something I need for my scissors, but we have no thrift shops around that I know of. EBay has them, but not for $3.84 I know! And shipping on top of that!

I can't wait to see if and when you get your new furbaby. Nothing delights me any more than animals, and as you know (and were so kind as to send me condolences personally), I lost a kitty last year, and I have 4 kitties left, but I would have more if I could. At my age, I don't want to risk getting another furbaby that has a chance to outlive me, and it wouldn't be fair to him/her to be uprooted for a new home or animal shelter, so I shall live vicariously through those (like you) who get babies!

Lovely stitching as always, Mouse. And I like your frogs. Both the laid out one (wish my frog was laid out like that, instead of hopping merrily through my stitching) and the flower one are lovely. Good luck with the new pup!!

Great bargains and your flower frog is gorgeous - wish I could find one like that.Lovely start on Pumpkin Cottage.Looking forward to seeing the new furbaby - might have a limiting effect on your stitching time, some of us might even be ale to catch up with you!

Love, love, love your scissors frog!! I'll have to check out the thrift shops here for one, great idea!! Your Pumpkin cottage looks great, I love that pattern too! Can't wait to see pictures of the new addition to your family and will keep you in my prayers. Hope the frogs stay away for good!! *Hugs*

Lovely start. I do enjoy watching your progress, but a new start is sooo much fun. Wonderful find on the frog. I really love seeing all the different ones about the Web. I can't keep my scissors out as one of the cats will carry them off. Congratulations on the new furbaby.
